<P><A NAME="top"></A>The hangar is your base for buying helicopters
and equipment, and for getting promotions. Get to know and love your
hangar.

<P>In any city, you have one assigned hangar: the one where you
begin. You can land at other hangars, but you won't be able to
perform any activities in them. Walk into your hangar by pressing
Ctrl-H while you are on the tarmac near your hanger.

<P><I>Note: If the city you load has no airport, one is automatically
built at the southeast corner of the city.</I>

<H4><A NAME="maintenance"></A>Maintenance</H4>

<P>Engines need fueling, damage needs repairing, windshields need
cleaning and rotorheads need checking. All this happens when you
land, exit your copter, then get back in. Bring your copter back to
the ground every now and then and let the mechanics work their magic.


<P><B>Buy only what you need.</B><IMG SRC="gifs/202.GIF" WIDTH=448

<P><I>Note: You can get maintenance for your copter anywhere, but the
farther you are from your hangar, the higher the cost of maintenance.
Bob's Gas Delivery ain't cheap.</I>

<P>If you run out of gas while flying, use the Auto-Rotation maneuver
or you'll crash big time. There's an Auto-Rotation exercise at the
end of this lesson.

<H4><A NAME="catalog"></A>Catalog</H4>

<P>You must be in the hangar to buy equipment and copters from the
Catalog. Press Ctrl-C or click on the Catalog button to open the
Catalog.

<P>Prices for equipment and copters are as posted. No negotiation is
necessary, and no sales tax is added.

<P><A NAME="equipment"></A>Any equipment you buy fits on any copter
you own, and is automatically installed on whichever copter you
choose to fly.

<P><B>Click on the equipment or copter you want, then click
"buy."</B>

<P>If you can afford it, it's yours.

<P>To close the catalog, click on the "Done" button.

<H4><A NAME="logbook"></A>Logbook</H4>

<P><IMG SRC="gifs/33.GIF" WIDTH=646 HEIGHT=475 X-SAS-UseImageWidth

<P>The Logbook records the missions you have completed. You must be
in the hangar to open the Logbook. You can press Ctrl-M, or click on
the Logbook button.

<H2>Summary</H2>

<P>Now you can take off, fly, dispatch, use your tools and land. You
can jump into the missions if you want and try your hand at saving
lives and property, or you can play it safe and do the following
exercises.
